Let us, then, be up and doing,

With a heart for any fate;

Still achieving, still pursuing,

Learn to labour and to wait.

Henry W Longfellow (1807-1882): A Psalm of Life.

The game is up.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616): Cymbeline. Act iii. Sc. 3.

Oh would I were dead now,

Or up in my bed now,

To cover my head now,

And have a good cry!

Thomas Hood (1798-1845): A Table of Errata.

Up! up! my friend, and quit your books,

Or surely you 'll grow double!

Up! up! my friend, and clear your looks!

Why all this toil and trouble?

William Wordsworth (1770-1850): The Tables Turned.

Up rose the sonne, and up rose Emelie.

Geoffrey Chaucer (1328-1400): Canterbury Tales. The Knightes Tale. Line 2275.

Up rose the sonne, and up rose Emelie.
